Review

"Another delectable dish of murder Florentine. With plotting worthy of Agatha Christie and color equal to that of Donna Leon--and her own fine prose style and sense of place--Kent concocts another classic mystery. Add her deftness of characterization, and explodes with life, death, geopolitics--and memorable literary flair." Richmond Times-Dispatch
